Any way to run 2 instances of Daz Studio at the same time?

I'm doing some work for which it would be very helpful to have 2 instances of Daz Studio running, side-by-side on my monitor so that I cam easily compare things.

Unfortuantely, it looks like you can't launch more than 1 instance of Daz Studio at a time.

Does anyone know of a way around this limitation?

Thanks

It is still possible. However the default behaviour is to only start a single instance. I sometimes even start four instances together. Basically you start it like this: dazstudio.exe -instanceName DAZ# You can make this also with a link in Windows as a handy shortcut. You also may want to take a look in this thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/359146/does-4-12-1-16-allow-multiple-instances-of-studio/p9

Yes, you can have the beta and general release installed and running at the same time.

Thanks all, the -instanceName DAZ# parameter worked nicely.
